Great Power

Bruce booked Zheng Jianguo's first-class ticket for him, and this is why he opened his eyes in the waiting hall for first-class passengers like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden.

However, at this moment, with the previous shock beyond imagination, after the emotional reason began to return, I felt that although these arrangements were luxurious and did not require money, the wool was on the sheep.

The first-class fare of 1,200 US dollars, the money saved can be used to buy a house in the second ring of the capital——

So with this idea, Zheng Jianguo originally planned to feast on the idea of ​​not eating nothing but not eating, eating is what you earn, but he didn't expect to see Arai Bear here, a neighbor of the Sao Paulo community.

So when the other party said something to Mary and strode towards the meteor, Zheng Jianguo's movements stopped, and when he looked at the other party with a smile, he was already two meters away from him. , The upper body and lower body became ninety degrees: "Doctor Zheng, it is a great honor to meet you here. It just so happened that we didn't have a meal. I wonder if we can have lunch with you?"

"Mr. Arai, please sit down—"

Seeing that the other party was so polite, Zheng Jianguo moved his stool and stood up, and made a please gesture to the other party. It was not the first time he and this person met. They had known each other at a community meeting a few months ago. But this was the first time the two sides greeted: "This was originally a semi-open public place. I am also very happy to meet Mr. Arai."

"Allow me to introduce to you, this is my brother, Yasushi Arai, and this is my wife and brother Maeda Ken——"

The height of Arai bear is one head shorter than Zheng Jianguo, and it is half a catty with Arai Kang next to him. With a soft smile on the face of his small nose and small eyes, he introduced it, but Maeda Jian next to him is actually a little taller than Zheng Jianguo, just two people. Unanimously, he met him again in the introduction. Zheng Jianguo simply reached out and shook his hand after the other party bowed, and the four of them formally knew each other: "Please sit down for three."

Being disturbed while eating, Zheng Jianguo was originally a little upset, especially when the three newly joined people sat down, and when he looked at the half of the sandwich in front of him and considered whether to continue eating or wait, Arai Xiong had already spoken: "It's not the right time for us to come, Dr. Zheng, please continue to eat, the meal we ordered will also come right away—"

"it is good."

Zheng Jianguo continued eating on his own, and saw Mary, who was watching from a distance, turned around. He soon saw three waiters showing up with plates, and he also remembered what Mary had said before: "If Those who travel with you can also enjoy it for free—"

"Are these two here to eat?"

With this faint thought in mind, the three newly-added Arai bears on the table did not speak, until Zheng Jianguo had even finished the dinner, the three of them also put down at the same time, and asked the waiter to remove the plate and order the charcoal coffee. He also changed his mind: "Give me a Kona coffee, the original flavor is fine."

"Unexpectedly, Dr. Zheng is really different. When other young people drink coffee, most of them order some blended coffee. They use sugar or milk to cover the acidity and bitterness of the coffee. But I don’t know why coffee is so fascinating. A delicate feeling mixed with sour and bitter--"

The smiling Arai bear said that it was obviously a conclusion after analysis. Zheng Jianguo didn't expect this naked flattery to come out, and he immediately smiled: "Mr. Arai thanked me. The role of coffee for me It’s still refreshing, relieves fatigue, relieves work pressure, and provides efficiency for work and study, so I choose original coffee, which can be strengthened with sour and bitter—"

"Dr. Zheng also has such a lot of study and work pressure?"

A faint smile narrowed a bit, Arai Kuma Yuanyuan showed a curious look on his face, and continued to speak: "I heard that you seem to have a natural instinct for learning. What others find difficult to you seems to be easy--"

"The natural instinct is to sweat, and the easy feeling is just the illusion of others, because when I pay, not many people see it. People always subconsciously forget the process of giving and focus on the result."

Seeing that the other party wanted to talk to himself, Zheng Jianguo felt that this was what the neighbors who didn't know him thought. At this time, the waiter next to him brought coffee before he was finished, and everyone drank it after putting it down in front of him. It’s just that Maeda Jian, who was not at the side of the meeting, looked at the watch on his wrist, and Mary, who had disappeared before, appeared next to him, speaking fluently in Japanese: "Mr. Arai, your flight is ready to board—"

"It looks like I need to learn Japanese."

As Mary’s voice flashed this thought in his mind, the Arai bear opposite Zheng Jianguo stood up and spoke in English: “Doctor Zheng, it’s a great honor to chat with you. We should leave now, let’s make another day. Talk again!"

"I wish you a smooth journey!"

Zheng Jianguo simply threw out a sentence in Mandarin. When Arai Xiong was stunned, Maeda Jian next to him leaned in his ear and said: "This is the wish for us to reach our destination safely when we travel——"

"Thank you!"

After finishing speaking again, the sudden Arai bear flashed across the face and bowed again. Then he turned and left with the two people who had also bowed next to him until he boarded the first class cabin of the plane after leaving the terminal. Arai Kang opened his mouth and said: "Although he is dressed very much like an elite, he can still be seen as a nouveau riche in eating and drinking. Eating is not for tasting, but for the stomach—"

"Immigrated to life and cultivated my body. Less than two years after he came to the United States, he changed from a student in a backward country to a doctor in the United States. Now he can't forget the suffering of starvation. The purpose of eating is naturally The fruit belly is the main thing. As for the delicious tasting, it will have to wait a few years. You can see it when he drinks coffee. The purpose is to refresh the mind—"

Shaking his head, Arai Kuma, accompanied by the flight attendant, took the two to the first-class cabin. After sitting down, he looked at the two and said, "Do you think he looks like he is eating and drinking? Does he look like a person with millions of net worth?"

"Several millions? U.S. dollars?"

Arai Kang Fei quickly raised his head and asked, when he saw Arai bear staring, he changed his words: "How does he make money?"

"First I sold a game design, and then made a wave of last year’s silver wars. The position was closed before the silver price crashed. At that time, the media reported almost tens of millions of income. I only found out when I moved to St. Paul Street—"

For Zheng Jianguo, Arai Xiong doesn’t know much about the news. The content is what he heard from his wife who has participated in many community activities: "I saw it at community meetings before but didn’t say hello, so if you meet today, I’ll take you two to get to know you. Maeda, don’t neglect Dr. Zheng because of his age."

"Hi! Brother-in-law! I remembered!"

Jian Maeda leaned forward and then replied. Arai bear nodded. At this moment, there were several figures in the first-class cabin. The smiling flight attendant pushed a small car and appeared in the wide aisle with a clear voice: "Everyone Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Delta Air Lines--"

As the voice of the flight attendant sounded, the plane was slowly pushed away from the gate by the tractor. At this moment, Zheng Jianguo, standing in the VIP lounge, watched the plane disappear at the end of the runway, and a thought flashed in his mind. I looked around and found that there was a waiter standing nearby, and walked over and said, "How long is the airport runway?"

"3050 meters!"

The upright waiter said with a smile, and saw that the first-class VIP nodded but stopped talking, and curiosity flashed through his blue eyes, tentatively speaking: "Sir, what do I need to serve? Place?"

"without thanks!"

The number of 3310 meters flashed in his mind, and Zheng Jianguo's subsequent grievances could not be stopped. At this time, there is not any domestic civil airport with a runway exceeding 3310 meters, so White Swan can only choose other airports. Come on.

Considering the engine efficiency of the White Swan, it is a quarter higher than the original Concord engine, which reduces the consumption of almost 20 tons per hour to 16 tons, which means that the original 20 tons of fuel can fly out more Less than a quarter of the distance.

So based on this situation, the White Swan, which has entered the late stage of modification, reduced the full-load fuel volume to 120 tons, and removed half of the fuel tank that originally occupied most of the cabin, freeing up more space for improving the cabin. At the same time, due to its own weight, it also reduces the full-load takeoff distance from 3,500 meters to 3,310 meters.

But the 3310-meter runway is still 310 meters longer than the runway of the Capital Airport at this time, so if you want to go straight from the capital to Boston, you must refuel once during this flight.

The first option given by the aerospace company is to load 100 tons of fuel from the capital or Hong Kong Island, refuel through San Francisco or Portland, Los Angeles and Seattle, and then fly directly to Boston.

The second option is to fly directly to Narita Airport, which has not been renamed by the notebook. This newly-built airport only opened the year before. It has a runway with a length of 4,000 meters and can fly directly to Boston after refueling.

The above two options are to go west, and the third is to go east, it is Bangkok Airport that needs to pass through the airspace of South Vietnam and Cambodia. This airport opened in 1914 has two more than 3,500 meters. track.

It’s just that no matter which airport is chosen as the refueling airport, 20 tons of fuel and more than an hour will be wasted. The fuel consumption for take-off and landing is much higher than that during cruise-unfortunately, the life and death of Shanxian Airport is still unknown at this time.

With a touch of resentment, after Zheng Jianguo ate something in the VIP lounge, there were a few more people in the VIP lounge who were obviously first-class passengers. Fortunately, he didn't have the idea of ​​knowing them. He almost thought that until Mary took him and a few people to the gate, he boarded the plane under the gaze of the passengers who had lined up nearby.

"Not the treatment of two double sofas for one person?"

Looking at the so-called first-class cabin, which is just a little wider and longer space and chairs, Zheng Jianguo had an unbelievable feeling in his mind. However, he found that the other seated passengers had no objections, so he was honest. Sitting in his seat, the flight attendant next to him introduced: "Welcome to the Delta Air Lines, gentlemen and ladies. We provide free cigarettes and seafood for passengers who take this trip. You can call directly if you need them. Us, thank you—"

"Free cigarettes—"

The smokers during the previous flights flashed in his mind, and Zheng Jianguo threw this unnecessary worry behind his head. Instead, he set a flat chair into a recliner, and found out the aviation magazine provided. I got up, and the tower outside the porthole next to the fuselage shook soon and began to move, and someone behind him was already beckoning: "Stewardess, please bring me a bag of Marlboro—"

"You can prepare a VCR and headset for the next flight--"

After summarizing the gains and losses this time, Zheng Jianguo took out his small notebook and wrote down, feeling a faint smoke floating behind him, and he had to pray in his heart: "I hope this flight is all right—"

"Cough cough cough--"

As Zheng Jianguo prayed, there was a heart-piercing cough in the first-class cabin, and the flight attendants all ran over: "Sir, are you all right? This cigarette should be all right—"

"Cough—it's not about smoking, but about my body. The lung cancer is in the advanced stage, and the doctor told me to quit smoking. If I can quit smoking, will I still get lung cancer?"

He coughed and yelled, but Zheng Jianguo didn't even look up. Everyone has the right to choose. Even if he ignores the feelings of doctors, relatives, and friends, he still goes his own way and puts it on this plane. , It is the feelings of the flight attendants: "You should listen to the doctor—"

"Huh, doctor? Those people who only know the test results are also worthy of being doctors? I complain that my lung cancer is caused by smoking. There are so many people who can smoke. Why do so few people get lung cancer? It's nonsense—"

As if thinking of his own treatment process, the person who opened his mouth vented his grievances at the flight attendants, and the latter was obviously due to his own duties, so he could only make the last effort: "But everyone believes in the doctors. If you have a problem, you will find them. It definitely makes sense—"

"It makes sense? Then you tell me what doctors have done to heal people's bodies. They just use all kinds of tools, medicines, needles, scalpels, films taken, and the results of the tests. Tell me I have lung cancer—"

With the help of the flight attendants, the voice of the lung cancer patient became louder and louder. So in the next time, Zheng Jianguo felt that he was not in first class. If someone in the economy class was so noisy during the flight, I was afraid. It has aroused public outrage long ago.

However, this product has been on the plane since it got on the plane. By this time, it has been nagging for a long time. Suddenly, there were white cheeks beside it, and the high-blonde-eyed nose and red lips imprinted in the eyes, accompanied by the thunder Youxiang heard her lower her voice and said, "This gentleman may be claustrophobic, so he is using this method to relieve his pressure-please don't care about him, Doctor Zheng."
